Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy?

As just another way to build a loudspeaker system why such disputes in forums when horns are mentioned?    They can solve many issues that plague standard designs but with all things have there own.  So why such hate?  As a loudspeaker designer I work with and can appreciate all transducer and loudspeaker types and I understand that we all have different needs budgets experiences tastes biases.  But if you dare suggest horns so many have a problem with that suggestion..why?

" Open your mind and ears and give a horn system a unbiased extended listen".

I couldn't agree more!  We all hear differently and have different tastes.  I personally am not a fan of "A/B" tests, frequent switching back and forth between speakers; I much prefer spending some "quality time" evaluating "speaker A", then switching the cabling to spend "quality time" evaluating "speaker B", all with music you enjoy and are familiar with.
